Isaiah 65:15-17

Contemporary English Version

¹⁵ I, the Lord God, promise
    to see that you are killed
and that my chosen servants use
    your names as curse words.
But I will give new names^[a]
    to my servants.^[b]
16 I am God! I can be trusted.
Your past troubles are gone;
    I no longer think of them.
When you pray for someone
    to receive a blessing,
or when you make a promise,
    you must do it in my name.
I alone am the God
    who can be trusted.

^17 (A) I am creating new heavens
    and a new earth;
everything of the past
    will be forgotten.
